CNB Yachts are a luxury superyachts manufacturer based in Bordeaux, France, on the shores of the Garonne River. CNB began in 1987 as part of the Beneteau group. CNB has acquired a good reputation for quality of construction and the finish of its boats with more than 40 luxury sailing yachts constructed from 20 to 32 meters. Designers utilised included Frers, Phillippe Briand, Farr and others.
The company produces both custom and semi-custom sailing yachts. The semi-custom line offers three yacht sizes from which to choose between 65 and 105 feet in length and over eighty percent of CNB’s fleet is exported. Each of the four CNB 64s is unique. The CNB 70 “Sagittario” is never confused with “Ino” or “Blues” just as the CNB 77 “Chrysalis T” is truly different from “Deep Blue”. The production management is governed by a CNB-developed software package and CNB offers owners the choice to have a yacht built in either aluminum or composite materials.
For composite construction CNB boasts a building where vacuum-infused resin is used in advanced composite building. In water testing is also possible at the CNB facility, with a sufficiently deep 984-foot waterfront quay. Yachts produced by CNB include the CNB 60, 77, German Frers 104 (Only Now).
